Thanks guys. I think I have had 2-3 times that I can remember where someone was dissatisfied and we never resolved the issue to satisfaction, but that's probably out of 750+ transactions over the years. I'm not perfect either and realize that.

I think I was just upset at some of the "shady" business practices by people trying to keep me from selling off stuff to better value their own assets.

I've never been happy about the 13% charges Ebay now charges, but if their service was good and helpful, they probably deserve it and I'm okay with it. Not punishing deadbeat buyers, impossible buyer protection restrictions, and now as mentioned by MM the shipping cost issue isn't what I consider a good service deserving the 13 or so percent though.

If Ebay cared, they could have solved their shipping issue with restrictions keeping people from charging $100 shipping and $3 for a product to avoid final value fees, not punishing the 95% of honest sellers. That is if greed wasn't the issue of course. Also, feedback should be mandatory for sellers to leave BEFORE buyers can leave any, but both still give a negative. This would allow a negative for deadbeat bidders still AND stop feedback extortion forcing a positive for bad service (which I've been extorted before by a well-respected Cub part seller that sent me a terrible item and said if I don't leave a positive he'll leave me a negative). I stuck with Ebay a lot longer than many but unless something changes I'm really slowing up or stopping for a while. Too much hastle and stress for little return.
